Rejuvenate Your Face with a Vampire Face Lift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin looks is often the biggest indicator to show how we're ageing. As well as acquiring fine lines, as we get older, the skin can take on a grey tone making the face look tired, and too much sun exposure and acne scars can make the skin look worn. As we age, our skin will lose its youth glow because the blood supply to our face diminishes, causing our skin to lose its colour, making it look dull. 

Treatment areas for PRP

Over time the skin's texture becomes less smooth, the delicate skin beneath the eyes becomes thinner and we often gain fine lines and wrinkles. Platelet rich Plasma Therapy, (PRP) also called a vampire facelift is a treatment which uses the natural ingredients of your blood to rejuvenate tired and ageing skin.

Non-surgical vampire facelift treatment is ideal for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
• Signs of ageing on the hands
• Minimising lines around the mouth
• Smoothing wrinkles across the nose
• Softening wrinkles and frown lines
• Dull skin due to less blood flow
• Smooth and uneven skin texture
• Tighten sagging or loose skin
• Reducing acne scarring

PRP is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the growth factors in your blood to improve the texture and tone of your skin. During the treatment a small amount of blood gets extracted and is then treated in a centrifuge to harvest the platelet rich plasma. It's then re-injected into the required treatment area, where it will stimulate new collagen formation, restoring volume to the skin, filling out fine lines and wrinkles, and encouraging the body to repair the ageing skin from the inside out.

Benefits of skin rejuvenation with PRP:

• Overall rejuvenation for the skin
• Any allergic reaction is minimal, as PRP is a natural cosmetic treatment derived from your own body
• It's highly recommended because of its natural elements
• It gives dull, dry and loose skin new life by stimulating collagen formation and elastin
• Results from a PRP treatment are long-lasting and can last for up to two years

A vampire facelift is great skin rejuvenating option because as the blood is the patient's own, so there aren't any foreign materials injected and this lowers any risk of allergies and infections. This procedure has a fast healing time and you'll only experience minimal bruising and slight swelling.

This treatment can promote skin rejuvenation especially around the eyes, reducing the lines and wrinkles. It's ideal for the hands, which often show signs of ageing sooner than other areas of the body, and on the neck and chest. The treatment simply helps rejuvenate the skin, restoring volume and collagen formation.

Reduce Facial Lines & Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days most women are taking better care of their skin than ever before, and the only thing giving away their age are the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, resulting from sun damage, genetics or the simple passage of time. Every facial expression we make will make an impression on our skin, and as the skin around the eyes is so delicate, the constant movement means the overlying skin is repeatedly stretched and folded and eventually the lines will become permanent.

Our skin radiates light when we're young, but as we get older it accumulates damage, becomes dull and starts showing fine lines. Constant use of facial muscles when smiling, frowning and talking, as well as changes in your skin with age, will inevitably lead to the start of wrinkles which then get ingrained on your face.

Contraction of the underlying muscles on the face will cause the overlying skin to contort repeatedly, forming furrows and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately this can easily be treated non-surgically with Botox, which can treat facial lines and wrinkles in a subtle and natural way, helping to restore the glow to our skin and youthfulness back on our face.

We use Botox for:

• Smoothing wrinkles and folds
• Forehead worry lines
• Between the brows frown lines
• Crows feet at the sides of the eyes
• Vertical lines around the lips
• Dimpling of the chin

Static wrinkles are lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed, staying there after you’ve finished making a facial expression. These lines aren't the best candidates for Botox treatment, as injections can soften these lines but not always get rid of them. Botox treatments are best for dynamic wrinkles which appear with facial expressions such as frowning. Facial wrinkles and lines can easily be softened without changing your overall appearance, resulting in a more relaxed, rested and rejuvenated appearance.

If you are considering having treatment, it's essential to choose a fully trained, qualified practitioner to inject the Botox into your face. A good practitioner is someone who has a good knowledge of facial anatomy and has performed facial aesthetics for several years. A face to face consultation is essential, so they can answer any questions while taking note of your aesthetic concerns, preferences and your desired results. The practitioner will also discuss the risks, which can include allergic reactions, bruising and minimal swelling.

Transform Your Face With a Selston Sculpt - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time the essential structure of our face will change and this is mostly due to; our lifestyle, smoking, gravity and general ageing. Growing older means the skin will eventually start to sag as our body produces less collagen and elastin, which are proteins that are essential for maintaining younger-looking skin.

This is the Selston Sculpt a facelift procedure that naturally reduces the signs of ageing

The Selston Sculpt is a liquid facelift which uses both dermal fillers and botox injections to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the face. It's a non-surgical facelift that will help to reduce dynamic wrinkles and restore lost volume, which together will create a lifted, naturally youthful look.

  

Ageing will cause:

• The loss of facial elasticity and volume can lead to wrinkles, sunken areas and creases and folds developing.
• Wrinkles will appear around the eyes, frown lines and horizontal  furrows on the forehead. You might also notice bunny lines on the sides of the nose and the lipstick lines on the upper lip.
• Volume loss tends to occur in the mid-face around the cheek-bones causing sunken cheeks and hollows beneath the eye area.
• Folds and creases can appear from the nose to mouth, known as the nasolabial and marionette lines, and on the chin and jowl areas.

Selston Sculpt treatment can gently lift the facial features and reduce the lines, wrinkles, folds and creases. It can help to restore the natural, curved facial features, giving the face a more rested, rejuvenated look and a friendlier smile.

The Selston Sculpt uses fillers of various densities to restructure and harmonise the face

We inject small amounts of botox precisely into various facial areas, chosen after careful examination of the muscle movements on the face. Botox temporarily suspends muscle movement in that area, and will smooth out forehead furrows, crows' feet and smokers lines around the lips.

Dermal fillers smooth out the deep marionette lines, or smile lines around the nose and mouth. It can restore volume to sunken cheeks and fill out hollows beneath the eyes, as well as adding volume to the lips. Fillers are ideal for smoothing out chin creases, restoring a youthful facial contour.

A Selston Sculpt will enhance the natural features of the face and smooth and tighten the skin, balancing out the shape of the face using advanced injectable techniques and giving instant, dramatic results.

Ease Nasolabial Grooves With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Everyone who looks at our face can easily see any obvious signs of ageing, after all, it's not a feature we can hide. How fast these signs of ageing happen varies from one person to another. There are lots of things which contribute to these changes, such as; our lifestyle, environment, genetics and our gender.

Dermal filler injections can improve lots of specific areas from ageing signs, with treatments such as; non-surgical nose-jobs, replacing volume in the chin, cheeks and tear troughs, plumping up thinning lips and improving the deep folds of laughter lines.

Deep nasolabial folds, or laugh lines are the large visible lines that run from the nose to the side of the mouth. Genetics and our facial structure partially decide how prominent and deep the nasolabial folds will get, and repeated facial expressions and the ageing process will exaggerate the lines, making them deeper.

The natural ageing process and the effects of excessive sun exposure can result in the face losing collagen, fat and elasticity, causing the face to sag and lose volume. Losing weight can also affect the face and sometimes not in a good way, as gravity can pull down fat and soft tissue which usually sits high up on the cheeks, causing sagging cheeks. This combined with the effects of gravity can cause nasolabial lines to appear. The smile lines go from the mouth to the nose, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip, generally becoming more pronounced the older we get.

Cosmetic treatments can treat facial ageing in many ways by using effective treatments. Dermal fillers can successfully restore areas of lost volume and injections of hyaluronic acid based filler will also smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are highly effective in correcting nasolabial lines. The filler adds extra fullness to where wrinkles and folds are most prominent, smoothing out lines and restoring and enhancing the facial shape. Fillers will improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery and the correction or softening of these folds gives your face a youthful fresher look.

Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising from the injections, are usually instantaneous, but quickly subside, and a numbing cream can easily be applied to minimise any discomfort. Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to temporarily improve fine lines, wrinkles and deep-set folds such as nasolabial lines as they can thicken the skin, reduce the lines and also restore and moisturise the skin.

Smooth The Skin's Texture Using Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The look and texture of the skin can change over the years making treatments such as microdermabrasion ideal for refreshing and rejuvenating the face. The mild exfoliation of the skin will help to erase fine lines and wrinkles, as well as unclogging and minimising the pores. The treatment can lessen age spots, hyperpigmentation and superficial sun damage, whilst medical microdermabrasion, which give a deeper medical exfoliation, is ideal for mild acne scars.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic our experienced practitioner can easily give professional skin treatments such as a chemical peel or microdermabrasion, treatments which can penetrate deeper into the skin than similar products that people use at home. These treatments will cause the dull, dead skin cells to turnover faster and can also treat a great number of other skin concerns.

Exfoliating at home - do's and don'ts;

*  Don't exfoliate every day. People think it will leave them with a clearer skin, but over-exfoliating can damage your healthy skin cells, leaving the skin irritated, dry and red. Instead, exfoliating twice a week is more than enough to keep your complexion looking bright.
*  Do use a good quality exfoliator with active ingredients, as this will encourage new cell turnover, whilst helping to take off any dull and dead skin cells from the skin's top layer. This will help to unclog and clear the pores, leaving you with a brighter, fresher complexion.
*  Don't exfoliate irritated skin. You should stop exfoliating straight away if it's causing skin irritation or has made your skin over-sensitive, as it's important not to damage the skin's barrier. Only start using exfoliation once your skin has returned to normal.

At a consultation at our clinic you'll meet your practitioner and they will assess your skin and suitability for treatment. After explaining  the microdermabrasion procedure, recovery, likely outcomes and costs, they will go through your past medical history and answer any questions you might have. The microdermabrasion treatment uses a light mist of crystals on the upper layer of the skin, which will gently and painlessly dislodge the dead and dull cells, whilst its vacuum suction will simultaneously remove both the crystals and dead cells. This results in a polished, smooth and glowing skin.

Microdermabrasion is one of the simplest and least disruptive skin treatments and is ideal even for people with sensitive skin. The treatment can help you improve any skin conditions or imperfections such as; fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, oily or dull skin and pigmentation. Microdermabrasion gives fast and long-lasting results.

Treat Ageing Skin at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We start to notice loose and sagging skin as we begin to get older, because as the body naturally ages, so too does the skin. The body stops producing collagen and elastin by the age of twenty-five and the hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin lessens, and this can result in the early signs of ageing.

There are lots of things that accelerate the ageing process of the skin:

• Sun damage - UVA rays emitted by the sun can cause pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity through collagen and elastin breakdown and skin-texture quality.
• Smoking - even second-hand smoke can cause damage to the elastin fibres causing sagging to the skin, age spots and lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
• Lack of sleep - can cause more fine lines, uneven skin colour and slackening of the skin.
• Stress - signs of stress can show up on your skin, hair and nails.
• Pollution and the environment - Dehydrated skin can leave the skin dry, rough and itchy and the city dust and dirt clogging up the pores can cause spots and make the skin look lifeless and dull.

Loss of volume in the face is one of the things we notice about getting older. As we age our facial fat is generally lost, causing the soft tissues to become thinner. Collagen and elastin will become less firm and elastic as we age, allowing the soft tissue in the face to sag. This results in the face looking thinner and facial bones looking more prominent.

Problems we get on the skin include:

• The cheeks - ageing skin is vulnerable to the effects of gravity and can sag, resulting in jowls and bags under the eyes.
• The mouth - laugh lines deepen and the fine lines that surround the lips, known as smokers lines begin to show
• The eyes - we get dark circles and tear troughs when the upper and lower eyes begin to sag.
• Facial thread veins - the blood vessels are more likely to break, bruise or become permanently dilated, causing thread veins.
• Age spots - when the pigment cells in the skin increase they cluster together, resulting in sun spots, freckles or liver spots.
• The forehead - repetitive facial expression movements made over time will see the start of wrinkles and furrows.
• The skin - facial wrinkles may occur because of thinning ageing skin. Reduced skin cell turnover will result in thinner crepe like skin. 

Selston Cosmetic Clinic offers the latest safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments to treat ageing of the skin. A little wrinkle, a bit of sagging or dark circle might be making you look older than you really are, but our experienced and fully trained cosmetic doctor can help you choose from a variety of treatments, and recommend which treatment is suitable for all of your concerns.

Men Can Also Benefit From Botox & Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We can't influence what effects the passage of time has on our skin, but we can try minimising its impact. Men today seem more aware of the cosmetic treatments available to them and have a more open attitude towards using them, to stay looking youthful. It isn't just women who want to look their best, these days men are also paying extra attention to their appearance. When it comes to getting older, we tend to think that men improve with age more than women, believing that men grow older in a more distinguished way.

Ageing happens to us all, but whatever age we are, it's never too early to start looking after our skin and maintaining our appearance. Lots of older, mature men look fantastic for their age, sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes it's because they've had a bit of help along the way. Anti-ageing treatments for men have become increasingly common place and the numbers of men having cosmetic treatments are on the rise.

Men have the same basic concerns about ageing as women. They want to soften the signs of ageing and look as good possible for their age and there are many subtle, undetectable treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and microdermabrasion which can help.

Men seek anti-ageing treatments for certain things:

• Lines and wrinkles - Botox can lessen and soften the wrinkles which are present even on the relaxed resting face. Frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet can all benefit from botox injections.
• A tired appearance - It's annoying when we look overly tired despite getting adequate sleep. Eye bags, dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes (tear troughs) are particular concerns, which dermal fillers can rectify. Dermal fillers can also soften deep lines and furrows on the face and replace lost volume to gaunt cheeks.
• Pigmentation - Age spots, mild scars, fine lines and sun damage are signs of ageing that can easily be treated with microdermabrasion, which can dramatically improve the skin's texture and tone.

The popularity for cosmetic procedures isn't just restricted to younger men; men of all ages seek cosmetic treatments to improve their looks, to slow down the signs of ageing and to give them healthy-looking skin. The number of men undergoing anti-ageing cosmetic treatments has dramatically risen in the last decade and some men now spend as much time caring for their appearance as women do.

Rejuvenate An Ageing Face With A Liquid Facelift - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As the years go by, we begin to notice signs of ageing as they start showing on our face. Ageing brings about many changes in the face and we'll start to notice fine lines and wrinkles and dull, tired skin as the skin loses collagen and elasticity and starts to sag. We also lose volume, and this makes the cheeks and temples look flatter and hollow, the lips can become thinner and less defined and troughs can appear beneath the eyes. Wrinkles and fine lines will also, sooner or later make their presence felt.

With so many treatments available to rejuvenate the skin we can find very hard to know which one is the best for us. The liquid facelift has made a big impact during the past few years, aiming to treat the upper, mid and lower areas of the face, to create a refreshed, balanced appearance that is subtle and entirely natural looking. The non-surgical liquid facelift procedure uses injectable treatments; botox to ease the look of wrinkles, folds and creases and strategically placed dermal fillers to help increase the volume and the shape of your face.

Botox
We use botox injections to freshen up the face, softening fine lines and wrinkles and eliminating frown lines, crows feet and forehead furrows. Strategically placed, botox can also give you an eye lift and lift the corners of the mouth.

Dermal fillers
Dermal Fillers injections will add volume to fill out the hollows in the cheeks, the troughs under the eyes, they'll plump up the lips and create a softly contoured, more youthful-looking face. Some of the most ageing lines and creases on the face are in the area between the nose and mouth, but they can easily be corrected with dermal fillers.

When using dermal fillers and botox injections together, it's now possible for a skilled cosmetic doctor to help you look younger and more refreshed within the hour. The liquid facelift treatments will restore the skin and the facial contours to its former youthfulness, and after the treatment you'll not only appreciate your reflection in the mirror, but you'll also get a boost in your self-confidence.

A liquid facelift can address many of the signs of ageing, without the need for invasive cosmetic surgery. It's a quick and effective treatment that's minimally invasive and is a walk in, walk out procedure. It has long-lasting results and a short recovery time with only minimal swelling and bruising.

Treatments For Rejunenating The Ageing Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and unfortunately these issues will only intensify over time. Our skin naturally starts to lose elasticity  causing wrinkles, and things like repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process, causing wrinkles.

Our skin ages in different ways:

• Wrinkles -  Skin loses some of its elasticity causing wrinkles and fine lines. As it becomes thinner and drier, we will notice new wrinkles appearing around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Repetitive movements of the face over the years are usually the cause of these lines.
• Frown lines - Frequent frowning when concentrating or worrying, can cause deep forehead furrows.
• Eye Lines - Wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or looking at the computer screen.
• Mouth lines - Fine lines around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, pursing the lips or puckering up the lips when drinking through a straw.

Botox brow lift

Loss of volume
A dramatic change to the skin as we reach our thirties, is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. We'll lose plumpness in the face because of fat and tissue loss under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, but there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control; like genetics, anatomy and gravity. However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

Profhilo - This contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing.

Botox - The signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.

Fillers, Botox & Profhilo Treatments To Rejuvenate Your Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we are young we have smooth skin and fullness in the upper areas of the face, but as time goes by we'll find that the years of sun exposure, pollution and everyday stress has affected our appearance. As we age, the body loses elasticity and it will produce less of the natural substances, like collagen, which we need to keep our skin firm and well hydrated, which all cause facial lines and wrinkles to appear.

Dermal Fillers

Getting wrinkles and creases on the face is part of the ageing process, and they begin to appear as the collagen and elastin fibres break down, but they can also result from excessive frowning, smiling or squinting.

Dynamic lines

Dynamic are when lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing occur on the face when it's in motion. They're also called expression lines; laughter lines, frown lines and bunny lines. These are harmless at a younger age but they are an indication of where the deeper set wrinkles and folds will remain in later life.

Static lines

Static lines are noticeable wrinkles, lines, sagging and folds which are present on the resting face. These lines, if left untreated, will stay on the face and will progressively worsen.

Botox

Dermal Fillers, Botox and Profhilo treatments are very effective for both men and women. 

• Fillers will fill lost volume on the face, hands and body. They will fill hollows, plump up thin lips, soften folds and wrinkles on the face and improve scars and other facial defects.

• Botox can ease the fine lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements. Small amounts of Botox will smooth out the lines, but will leave you with natural, relaxed facial expressions.

• Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. This treatment will immediately show a noticeable improvement in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and reducing fine lines.

Looking After Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It seems like our lifestyles are becoming even more hectic, and balancing our work, family and social life can wreak havoc on our skin, making it look a lot older than it is. Early mornings, late nights, busy social lives and modern technology are taking over our lives, and many of us feel pressurised, trying to fit everything we have to do, into one day. All of this will eventually take it toll, having the potential to prematurely age our skin.

If we actually stopped and thought about the long-term damage we might be doing to our skin due to our bad habits, we might realise that if we neglect our skin now, we will most certainly pay for it later.

Botox injections

Lots of thing contribute to facial ageing:

Stressful schedules
A busy social life can increase our stress levels, making us lose out on our standard eight hours sleep. Tiredness and stress can cause wrinkles and dull skin, it can lower your immune system, which can result in acne breakouts.

Out and about
Outside we come into daily contact with car fumes, pollution and dust, which will all have a harmful effect on our skin over time. These are things which are impossible for us to avoid and can cause dehydration, wrinkles and redness. The belief is that these days pollution is just as damaging to our skin as UV exposure. It's important to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin, to rid it of a daily build up of dirt and grime.

Late nights
Failing to get a good nights sleep can cause havoc with our skin. Whether it's because of partying, working or watching movies late into the night, we are quite literally losing hours of our beauty sleep. Drinking excess alcohol can dry out the skin and the later we go to bed, the more likely we won't remove our make-up, and this can clog up our pores and cause spots. Lack of sleep will dehydrate the skin making it seem dull, causing puffiness and dark shadows under the eyes.

Technology
Our obsession with our phones and computers is really taking its toll on our neck and jaw line. The skin on the neck is thin and fragile, and because it's a highly visible part of the body, this area can really show how fast we are ageing. Constantly staring down at a phone or laptop can cause sagging jowls and wrinkles on the neck, which accelerates the signs of ageing.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic has many treatments which can help to combat fine lines and wrinkle reduction, dull, dehydrated skin, dark shadows and tear troughs. Experienced and fully trained doctors will advise you from a range of treatments, and will tailor a treatment plan specifically for you - from solo treatments or combining a variety of different procedures.

Smooth Away Wrinkles with Botox - Nottingham, Derby,Mansfield & Chesterfield

Ageing affects every area of the body, but of all the changes that occur, the changes in the face are the most obvious. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most common signs of ageing which form through smiling, squinting, smoking, and any other repeated facial movement. Most of our wrinkles develop because of damage to the skin, with the most damage coming from excess exposure to sunlight.

It's never too late to slow down signs of ageing and even those who are already starting to show some early skin ageing can benefit from making some lifestyle changes.

The rate of facial ageing will increase:

• When the skin becomes dehydrated it leaves the skin looking flat and dull, and the dryness will make the wrinkles show up more.
• Lighter skin tones also more prone to sun damage making the daily application of sunscreen essential.
• Repeated facial expressions like smiling, squinting and frowning often cause the first of your wrinkles to form.
• Heredity plays a role in how we age. The timing at which we start to develop wrinkles is partly influenced through genetics.
• Smoking can add fine lines and wrinkles to the mouth, causing lipstick to bleed its colour into the lip wrinkles. 
• Sleeping on the same side every night, will repeatedly press and squash the face to the pillow.

Even if you have great genes and look younger than you are, there's no way to avoid the ageing changes in your facial appearance. The changes that appear on our face, are reflections our happiness and life challenges, and we can either learn to love these changes, or decide to do something about them.

Botox is a prescription medicine that's injected into the facial muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and crows feet at the sides of the eyes. As long as you're treated by a medical expert, trained in facial anatomy, you will look younger and refreshed and you won't lose the ability to express any emotions or expressions.

These days we are all familiar with botox treatment, used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles on different areas on the face, depending on the way your muscles of facial expression work. Botox treatments can easily be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and dermal fillers, which can also help to prevent new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face.

Rejuvenate Dull Skin with Chemical Peels & Microdermabrasion - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes products that we use on our face don't seem to work as effectively as they should, and dry skin and blocked pores can prevent our skin creams from absorbing into the skin. We all wish for a flawless complexion, and we usually resort to wearing foundation make-up to cover up the true condition of our skin. Over time many of us have experienced some sort of skin problem and whether it's a blemish, pigmentation, sunburn, hormonal changes or acne scarring, these changes, especially on the face, can sometimes make us feel embarrassed and self-conscious.

There are treatments we can have that will clear our skin of a build up of dirt, dead skin and blocked pores, and will give us a renewed, healthier and clearer complexion. Chemical peels are ideal for removing older, and damaged skin, helping to improve the quality and revealing clearer, brighter and smoother skin underneath.

Pigmentation is the colouring of a person's skin. Healthy skin will appear normal in colour, but the colour may change because of illness or injury and become darker (which is hyperpigmentation) or lighter (which is hypopigmentation) In some women, higher levels of hormones during pregnancy can cause a darkening of the skin across the upper lip, nose, cheeks and forehead, and it can also happen through taking the contraceptive pill.

Liver spots, mottled brown patches and large freckles on the face, chest and hands affects millions of women. Liver spots occur because of damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet radiation, and the best way to prevent this happening is by using a high factor sun cream on exposed skin from an early age.

Unique non-invasive chemical peels can give dramatic results:

• Dull lifeless skin - a deep exfoliation, helps to stimulate production of new collagen.
• Ageing - can cause irregular skin texture, because the cells on the skin's surface don't shed as quickly.
• Sun damaged skin - sun exposure will cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin which contributes to uneven skin texture.
• Irregular pigmentation
• Improves fine lines and wrinkles
• Active acne

Microdermabrasion treats an uneven skin tone. Treatment promotes growth of new skin and collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effect of ageing, and it's popularly used for the face, neck, chest and hands.

Microdermabrasion treatment

• Microdermabrasion improves:
• Blotchy, uneven skin tones
• Dull lifeless skin
• Enlarged pores/blemishes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damaged skin/age spots
• Acne scarring
• Blackheads and white heads

Microdermabrasion is not only a great treatment for normal skin, but it also treats premature ageing caused by sun damage, fine lines, dry skin, acne, mild scars and sunspots.

Dermal Filler to Replace Lost Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is one of our best assets when it comes to beauty. A healthy firm skin, equals a younger-looking appearance and when we're young our skin is more elastic and resilient, which is mostly thanks to collagen. Collagen keeps the skin intact and hydrated, which makes it elastic, but as we age the skin weakens and loses its elasticity. This affects your facial expressions and you'll find that the skin will sag, causing it to develop lines and wrinkles.

There are ways we can help our skin to look good:

• Keeping up a good skin care routine
• Don't use soap on the face
• Wash your face twice a day, at morning and night, using warm water and a mild facial cleanser
• Always moisturise after cleansing, as it will hydrate the skin
• Good facial exfoliation is an essential part of any skin routine as it will remove dead skin cells
• Use sunscreen everyday

The most visible signs of ageing on the face is because of volume loss. When facial tissues lose volume, the cheeks start to look hollow, we get tear troughs under the eyes and lines can become etched around the nose and mouth. As we mature, we naturally lose subcutaneous fat in our faces, making the smile lines, frown lines and crow's-feet become more obvious, as the facial muscles are working closer to the skin's surface.

Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin's own supply of hyaluronic acid and they revitalise and add volume to the skin, instantly diminishing the lines and wrinkles and giving a softer natural look. Dermal fillers are a soft injectable gel, consisting of hyaluronic acid which is tissue-friendly and closely resembles the hyaluronic acid that exists naturally in the body. It's long-lasting but not permanent.

Dermal fillers are ideal to:

• Diminish vertical lines around the lips
• Fill in hollow tear troughs around the eyes
• Enhance and restore lost volume to sunken cheeks
• Plump up and enhance the lips
• Soften facial lines and wrinkles
• Plump out facial creases

The filler gets injected into the skin in tiny amounts, with a very fine needle. The gel filler produces volume under the skin, lifting up the wrinkles or folds, which results in smooth looking skin. It's a quick, easy treatment and the actual procedure takes between twenty minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment required. Straight after your treatment you'll have slight redness, mild swelling and tenderness, but these effects are temporary.

Smooth Away Lines & Wrinkles With Botox - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want to look as young as we can, for as long as we can. How we look after our skin and our lifestyle choices can all play a part in delaying the signs of ageing, although we do have to accept that ageing is both natural, and inevitable. Lines on the face are a sign of stress or age, but you can easily smooth away the fine lines and wrinkles with a quick five-minute treatment. It will leave you looking completely fresh, less worried and more awake. Subtly administered botox injections will give your face a soft natural, refreshed look.

The ageing process shows on our face, and this happens for a variety of reasons:
* Time naturally takes its toll
* Exposure to the sun breaks down elastin fibres
* Hormonal changes cause a loss of density on the skin
* Smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers
* Repetitive muscle movement can cause deep set lines and wrinkles

Wrinkles are the folds and creases that appear on the skin and are a natural part of the ageing process. The primary cause of facial wrinkles are the repetitive movements used when we make our facial expressions, and over time they form crows feet, frown lines and marionette lines. Lines around the mouth and lips start to appear when we pucker up the lips when smoking. The skin is also exposed every day to the elements; the wind, sun, dirt, and pollution, and it's inevitable that this will eventually affect the skin in noticeable ways.

• Fine lines are shallow and they're found in areas of facial movement, such as the eyes, mouth and upper lip, from laughing, smoking, eating and squinting.
• Wrinkles are depressions in the surface of the skin which can look either coarse or fine.
• Deep set wrinkles are expression lines and they're usually found on the forehead, the corners of the eyes and vertical lines on the side of the mouth, usually caused by frowning, raising your eyebrows and smiling.

Botox is an effective anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle treatment. The treatment is safe, affordable, convenient and fast, and the procedure is usually completed within 15 or 20 minutes. The results will last for at least 3 or 4 months. The botox injections are non-invasive and are very popular, offering people of all ages a way to, not only reduce the wrinkles, but also have strategically placed injections as a preventive measure to stop new wrinkles forming.

Safe Botox & Fillers at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

These days cosmetic treatments are becoming more affordable and easily accessible, with more people turning to botox and dermal fillers in a bid to look younger. Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, and number two is dermal fillers and the variety of procedures on offer is sometimes overwhelming, with the beauty industry offering lots of injectable treatments, but how do you know if what you're buying is the right product, or if it's being carried out by the right person?

Whether you're checking out the reputation of a clinic online, on internet forums or by word of mouth, always do your research and check out all the information on the place where you're having your treatment.

• Check out the qualifications of the practitioner.
• To avoid infections, always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean.
• Avoid gimmicks, like: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
• Don't just choose the cheapest. Remember, you are having products injected into your face, so choose wisely.
• Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.

You need to have treatment somewhere that's safe, where there's a qualified practitioner who should have a good knowledge about facial anatomy and skin. It's advisable that healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists and nurses, who have had the correct training in these treatments carry out these cosmetic treatments, especially any injectable treatments.

Botox
Botox eases the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements that etch them into the face. Too much botox will result in a frozen, plastic looking face, but that only happens when too much of the product gets injected.  Small amounts of botox will smooth out the lines, but leave you with natural, relaxed facial expressions.

Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers add volume to the cheeks, the tear troughs under the eyes, at the jaw line and plump up the lips. Again, people worry about trout pouts and puffy pillow faces that happen when too much filler gets injected, and the same rule applies, as with the botox, let your doctor know what you do and don't want during the consultation.

Continuity is always a good idea. If you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and more treatments, it's always wise to use the same practitioner who knows your face, knows what you want and what you are hoping to achieve.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Fine Wrinkles & Ageing Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sun damage, acne scars and general ageing - our skin goes through a lot over the years, but there is a way to get our skin back to its former glory with laser skin resurfacing. This is a treatment which removes damaged layers of skin, leaving skin looking fresher, younger and healthier.

This treatment is a non-invasive laser treatment for fine wrinkles, ageing and sun-damaged skin and is often called the non-surgical face lift. It's non-ablative, so the surface of the skin remains unchanged and there's no healing or recovery time.

Enhanced laser skin rejuvenation treatment will:

• Leave the face with an even colouring
• Give the skin with a silky feel and a youthful glow
• Tighten up the skin
• Plump up areas such as the cheeks

The gentle lasers reach deep down to the collagen level of the skin, and the precise therapeutic light energy stimulates production of collagen and elastin fibres, and this will improve the tone and texture of the skin and smooth out facial wrinkles. It corrects small pigmentation imperfections such as brown sunspots and erases broken blood vessels and red and blue facial veins. It's a safe treatment for the face, chest, neck, hands and any area where sun damage shows.

The enhanced laser skin rejuvenation procedure normally takes around 40-60 minutes to treat and we recommend six treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The treatment effects are cumulative, with optimal results appearing after 4 to 6 months. Clients might experience minimal discomfort when we are delivering the laser pulses and some may experience a minor stinging sensation on the skin but we can offer topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatments more comfortable.

Laser skin rejuvenation is an ideal procedure to have done during your lunch time as after the treatment there's no down time, you can wear make up and resume your normal activities straight away, with most  clients returning to work immediately afterwards. Occasionally you might experience redness or swelling for a few hours, or on rare occasions, for a few days.

The benefits:

• Reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Treats sun damage, including age spots and brown pigmentation
• Will improve broken blood vessels, red and blue facial veins
• You can return to normal activities immediately
• It's safe for the face, chest, neck, hands and anywhere that sun damage shows

Before any treatment, the doctor will discuss your requirements and expectations and recommend a personalised treatment plan. This cost-effective treatment gets fantastic results, without the use of needles or invasive cosmetic surgery.
